He must be nearly as old as Maradona isn't he? Now 36. Its only a friendly against Haiti, but its still madness.....

Maradona has called up Ariel Ortega to the Argentina squad Incredible

Top Priority: CM, Striker, RB Not-so-top Priority: Winger, CB, Striker 2 Nice but not necessary: LB

What exactly is an impact player? Surely every good pass, corner, shot etc. is 'making an impact'.......

of the 3 teams to be promoted to the Premier League with 100+ points, one finished the next season 7th, one 8th and the other one 13th.

Apparantly he wants 120k at Chelsea but they won't go over 90k

If we're after Maynard, offer Best + cash

Has he got Nigerian ancestry?

Strange how Blackburn have snuck up to 10th. Until today, I can't recall any of their victories this season.

He's been on todays 'The Game' podcast, on The Times' website. Havn't listened to it yet though.

I think 35 has replaced 40 points as the "safe" number. The number needed to stay up is getting lower and lower. HOME: 6 Wins, 6 Draws, 7 Defeats AWAY: 2 Wins, 6 Draws, 11 Defeats ....gives 36 points. So winning almost one in five games will keep us up (hopefully).

Our strategy should be to sign first teamers for money, and back-ups for free. Bertrand, Senderos, Scharner, Albin, Clerc, Pedersen and Feghouli (has been linked with Valencia though) are going to be out of contract.

The material on that Spurs top looks like something from Topman. Quite like the Stoke one.

The winner of Forest vs Blackpool will go up. Forest are getting their act together away from home and they're still fantastic at City Ground. But Blackpool have momentum and are the only team to have done the double over them. So its really tricky to call...... Forest vs Leicester final, Forest victory

Yep. Its vital that Hughton doesn't let loyalty cloud his judgement, because this is definitely Smith's level.

Not a lot of potential darkhorses because a lot of good teams didn't qualify, but Serbia is definitely one. Only problem is that they've got a nasty group, possibly followed by England. Serbia, Chile, Cameroon

Berbatov is such a horrific player. He's so so shit. He makes Ibrahimovic look good. Imagine those two up front together!

This thread

Its been wonderful. Lets never do it again!

That ending was amazing stuff. Just fantastic. And when Palace nearly scored at the end Stupid of the Palace fans to invade the pitch, but understandable i suppose. Tasty scenes! I know our fans invaded against Plymouth, but at least their relegation was inevitable. Liverpool-Chelsea was alright too. Good day of football

Its not the best mockup, but still better then our current strip if only for the lack of the horrible stuck on box. This is clearly the best one though: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5241/newcastle10.png If that was the real strip I'd buy three! Sheff Wed are basically wearing this today, obviously with blue and the pumas higher up the sleeve!

last day of the season

Got Palace-Wednesday on the PC and Liverpool-Chelsea on TV (when it kicks off). And livescores is up for updates. Busy day!

Begrudgingly, c'mon Palace!

Eddie Howe has done fantastic at Bournemouth
